Abstract

The expansion of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to the emerging THz spectrum has enabled a new era of applications in the areas of automobile, security, non-destructive testing, and material characterization. Thanks to the sub-mm wavelength, extraction of material surface properties is possible and of significant interest for the THz SAR applications. The properties define the surface scattering behavior, which is relational to the applied frequency. This study focuses on surface classification. We evaluate the scattering behavior of a rough surface and a smooth surface at 1.5 THz based on a SAR processing sequence that is introduced in this paper. First, we form the 3D SAR images of the metallic objects and then evaluate the surface properties based on the variation in the energy reflected by the object's surface.
